The inclusion of this curling stone (far right) in

The inclusion of this curling stone (far right) in a collection of Manitoba rocks at the New Iceland Heritage Museum in Gimli, Manitoba may seem a bit tongue in cheek, but the sport of curling is big in Manitoba. Last weekend the team that would have represented Canada in the 2021 women's world curling championships had they not been cancelled due to COVID-19 won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts (Canada's national women's curling championship). The skip and all but one of her team are from Manitoba.⁠

Big Charlie Black has an itch behind his ear, but

Big Charlie Black has an itch behind his ear, but he's just too fat to scratch it. This sculpture "Big Charlie Black" by Carrie Grant is one of the many sculptures to be found in downtown Mesa, Arizona. March 1 is National Pig Day in the U.S., so it seems a good day to share this photo. See my latest blog post (follow link in bio) for more info on the Mesa sculptures.⁠

On International Polar Bear Day, I'm sharing a photo I took a few years ago at the Journey to Churchill exhibit at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.⁠ The new CBC series Arctic Vets follows day-to-day operations of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. It features expeditions to Manitoba’s subarctic, emergency animal rescues and daily life at the conservancy. The first of ten episodes aired last night.⁠

Remembering cocktails at the iconic art deco American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, England and wondering when this kind of unique experience will be possible again and when it might feel "normal" again. And yes, that is gold leaf in the top of my cocktail. ⁠

New post on the blog about snow sculptures in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Although Festival du Voyageur has gone virtual this year and people from around the world were unable to compete in the snow sculpture contest, there are still a lot of snow sculptures to be seen (in person, not virtually) throughout the city. This sculpture sits in front of the impressive Canadian Museum for Human Rights building.
